VARIANTS
The Super Hercules is manufactured in four main configurations. The C-130J-30 is the most common cargo configuration used
by air forces worldwide. The KC-130J is a short-body model with an integrated air-to-air refueling system. The C-130J-SOF
configuration adds sensors and weapons for an international Special Operations aircraft. The LM-100J is the newest configuration:
an FAA-certified* version of the C-130J-30.

for damage tolerance; added crew position stations for a combat system operator (CSO) and scanner, automatic dependent
surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) out; and external fuel tanks for increased range/loiter time.
The armed ISR C-130J-SOF builds upon standard configuration provisions to increase effectiveness and lethality. It features
a two-man CSO station and/or mission system roll-on/roll-off (RO/RO) pallet, a 30mm gun system, Hellfire air-to-surface
missile system, aerial refueling probe installation system (ARPIS) refueling boom for extended range and loiter operations,
satellite communication (SATCOM) system and wideband line of sight (LOS) datalink to improve command and control.
Additional options include defensive systems such as directed infrared countermeasures (DIRCM), the UARRSI boom capable
in-flight refueling system, Block 8.1 upgrades, fighter, helicopter and vertical lift aerial refueling probe and drogue system,

AIRCRAFT MODIFICATIONS
FIREHERC
Large air tankers — including legacy C-130s and C-130Js — play a critical role in firefighting, dispersing retardant
in austere locations to prevent flames from destroying more land and more lives. To do this, an air tanker has to
be able to navigate this challenging terrain, remain close to the flames, fly in low-visibility conditions and bring
crews home safely. Airframes must remain strong and performance can never be compromised.
The LM-100J FireHerc will excel in this operational environment with its turboprop powerplant, straight wing
design and known performance capabilities — all of which offer an unmatched, optimized large air tanker
that exceeds some existing platforms by more than 200 percent in gallons or retardant delivered in a high/hot
environment.

MARITIME PATROL
Scalable Maritime Surveillance Aircraft (MSA)/Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) Kit
The scalable MSA/MPA kit utilizes bolt-on apertures (e.g., MAD Boom), ramp-deployed torpedo system, existing wing
hard points and a palletized mission system to minimize the modifications to the baseline C-130J aircraft. This allows
the operator the flexibility to incrementally grow the configuration to meet future operational requirements.

PALLETIZED
SYSTEMS
Roll-on/roll-off passenger pallets can be configured for economy class or business class seating and
are FAA-certified to carry passengers. The pallets can include economy galleys or lavatories or a
PASSENGER combination of seating with galleys or lavatories.
Lockheed Martin has a network of suppliers that provide medevac pallets for all models of the C-130.
Pallets follow regulations for carrying passengers/patients utilizing FAA-certified equipment.
• Litter Stacking Pallet Systems are used to transport non-critical patients. Because of the use of
standard litter and stretcher systems, the pallet can be easily changed for different medical or
MEDICAL humanitarian missions.
• Critical Care Pallet System provides medical technicians the provisions for connecting and holding
handheld medical supplies, oxygen and port connections and electrical outlets.
The armed roll-on/roll-off pallet converts the transport aircraft into an armed ISR aircraft allowing the
operator to control the mission from the cargo compartment. Cargo bay pallets include Command and
Control (C2) and targeting systems. Weapons and sensors can be carried using existing C-130J wing
hard points.
ARMED Inboard and Outboard Hard Points
• Mission Pod installed on inboard hard point
• Includes a 20-inch EO/IR sensor for targeting identification and designation
• Datalink provides off-board communications of video and other data enabling command
control approval
• Outboard hard point holds a weapon rack and pylon with four Hellfire missiles
Optional Weapons
• Palletized 30mm gun system installs in the aft fuselage at the paratroop door

MODULAR SYSTEMS
SPECIAL MISSION AND
PASSENGER MODULES
Lockheed Martin has a network of suppliers that provide
roll-on/roll-off modules for special missions and/or
passenger transport.
MEDICAL MODULES
Lockheed Martin works with specific suppliers to provide roll-on/roll-off modules for C-130, C-130J and LM-100J aircraft.
Modules are fully independent, only using power from the aircraft. They can also be operated on the ground with the
addition of external power. The medical team, which is now separated from the aircrew, can function in a controlled
environment much like a hospital setting. Temperature and vibration control along with medical-grade lighting are just
a few of the features of the medical modules.
Aeromedical Biocontainment Modules (ABCM) are used for the management of patients with contagious diseases such as
Ebola and other global medical threats.
Universal Patient Modules (UPM) have plug-n-play features which can be adjusted for varying levels of acuity and numbers
of patients.
